About Kathleen Mercer
Dr. Kathleen Mercer was born and raised in St. John’s, Newfoundland. After receiving her first Bachelor of Science Degree at Memorial University of Newfoundland, she moved to Asia to teach English and travel. During this time she became interested in Chinese Medicine and decided to return to Canada and further her studies in Naturopathic Medicine.
Already having chosen Medicine as a life path, Dr. Mercer felt Naturopathic Medicine encompassed principles of health care that complement conventional medicine including; prevention, do no harm, doctor as teacher, stimulate the body’s own vital force to do the healing, healing power of nature, patient as an individual and finding and treating the root cause of disease.
Dr. Mercer graduated in 2000 from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine (CCNM). She held a successful and busy practice in Orangeville, ON for 3 years. She returned to Newfoundland with her family to practice Naturopathic Medicine on the island.
Dr. Mercer’s agenda incorporates many outreach projects to the public including talks, seminars, and community events.
